Of course the big news this week is that Perry got his mission call and will be reporting to the Missionary Training Center in January. He will be serving in the Kentucky Louisville Mission! It was so nice to have been able to Skype so we could be a part of the big announcement with the rest of the family. Apparently there were three Skypes going on along with us, Nana and Papa Dahlberg, and Amy and Christian. Don't you just love technology? We sure did Fridiay night. Perry will finish out his semester at BYU and then will be home a few weeks before he leaves for the MTC and then on to Kentucky. Don't worry he is already starting to learn the language of the South and he sounded very Red Neck on Friday night! I have to admit I loved seeing the huge grin on his face when he read his letter and know that he is going exactly where he is suppose to be.
At work we decided to stop the camera and just get busy with getting documents ready. We can barely keep up so decided that if we both just dedicated several days to document preparation that would move the work along a little more smoothly. When we left on Friday we had six full boxes of documents and hopefully we can be more consistent in the coming months by staying ahead of ourselves. I have to admit by Friday we were remembering how much we like having a little distraction each day by working on the camera between document prep. Variety is definitely the spice of life in this assignment.
On Saturday morning our Stake had their 8th annual Family History Conference. I was the welcome speaker but don't be impressed. Well be impressed because I had only 10 minutes to share what has been happening in Family Search in the last year and I did it! There was well over 100 people there and Grandpa and I were able to attend several classes. They were really good and we learned a lot. We attended one class that taught us about a program called Myheritage.com. I can't wait to get more involved in using it. After it was over we drove down to Nashua to celebrate with a (you probably already guessed it!) Chick-fil-a lunch. After that we drove to the Manchester Airport just to make sure we could find it when we went back at 10:00 p.m. to pick up Kent and Becky. We are so excited to have them here with us.
The temperature is dropping and we are finding ourselves doing more layering each morning. The yards are no longer green but are covered with beautiful carpets of orange, red, and yellow leaves. We have enjoyed watching the ground crew work around out building blowing all the leaves into a huge pile (If I was 50 years younger I would definitely be jumping into it) and then hauling the pile away. Two days later they are back again doing the same thing. It is amazing how many leaves are in New Hampshire! Hope you all have a great week!
